Mount Eerie - I Walked Home Beholding lyrics
[Mount Eerie - I Walked Home Beholding lyrics]
The world was frozen i left the studio
Night had fallen the storm had cleared
The whole town had been
Abandoned except for me
I walked home beholding
The lights in the park the moving trees
The silent corners the world's new cloak
A final breath of storm blows
Snowdrifts in the street
Then blows away over the water on an island
Across from town isolated
Close and alone
Looking across the water seeing people
Slowly living all their lives
This is the feeling from
Inside an island body
(Looking out from inside a sea of thoughts
Distant and quiet) tossed on the waves
Blown onto land grasping meaning
In churning mess
A moment of clear air breathing
Seeing the expanse totally at peace with the
Meaninglessness of living
Drifting in a changing world alone
Reaching for a solid thing in vain
The stone dissolves in the same
Wind I swim through
Where I live there is a constant roaring
Bottomless absence through a cloud hole
The sky was moving i saw it drift
Seeing breathing waves of water
Roll in the sky the wind has increased
Night had fallen the storm had cleared
The whole town had been
Abandoned except for me
I walked home beholding
The lights in the park the moving trees
The silent corners the world's new cloak
A final breath of storm blows
Snowdrifts in the street
Then blows away over the water on an island
Across from town isolated
Close and alone
Looking across the water seeing people
Slowly living all their lives
This is the feeling from
Inside an island body
(Looking out from inside a sea of thoughts
Distant and quiet) tossed on the waves
Blown onto land grasping meaning
In churning mess
A moment of clear air breathing
Seeing the expanse totally at peace with the
Meaninglessness of living
Drifting in a changing world alone
Reaching for a solid thing in vain
The stone dissolves in the same
Wind I swim through
Where I live there is a constant roaring
Bottomless absence through a cloud hole
The sky was moving i saw it drift
Seeing breathing waves of water
Roll in the sky the wind has increased
